Is Qinghai Lake suitable for visiting in winter?

Qinghai Lake is suitable for fun in winter.

Every November, the temperature in the Qinghai Lake area drops below 0℃, and the lake begins to freeze. By early January of the following year, the entire lake is basically frozen. The aerial view is very spectacular, and it can be called the plateau. One of the wonders of winter.

After freezing, the ice surface of Qinghai Lake is flat. Affected by strong winds in winter, cracks and grooves often appear on the ice surface. In winter, the lake and mountains are all white and silvery, which is unique. Beginning in mid-March, the ice surface slowly melted, creating a spectacular "open lake" landscape. After mid-April, the ice in the lake completely melted.

They may have symptoms such as slight dizziness, headache or loss of appetite. Drink more water, pay attention to rest, and do not move. When doing drama or activities, please proceed according to your own physical condition and do not force it.

3. Don’t walk around on the grassland, because Qinghai Lake is mainly a wetland, and there are swamps in many places.

4. Qinghai Lake is located on a plateau, with strong ultraviolet rays. Sun protection is very important. It is best to use physical sun protection, hats, sunglasses, magic headscarves, and sunscreen is a necessity, comrades! Remember to reapply multiple times.

5. You need to bring a pair of comfortable flat shoes and a pair of slippers. The flat shoes are for comfort, and the slippers are for taking beautiful photos in the water.
